Özet:

The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing interest in the new interpretations of social issues of living in the early 20th century, and from this perspective, in the scientific heritage of A. E. Kulakovsky (1877-1926) as an original thinker, who worried about the fate of the indigenous people inhabiting a large territory of the North-Eastern part of Russia. In this regard, the present work has a special significance, having three handwritten versions, but being banned in the Soviet era as a product of the bourgeois-nationalist idea. It was first published in the early 1990s. In this regard, the purposes of this study are to show the author’s firm rejection of the revolutionary path in the plight of the Yakut people; to give logical conclusions about the role of intellectuals and well-off section of the society in the improvement of the level of cultural and economic life. The research was done within the framework of the methodology of textual analysis of the letter to the author’s contemporaries. The article reveals new aspects in the study of the letter “To the Yakut Intelligentsia” in the context of the ideas presented in the major publications of declarations of Russian intelligentsia.
